Risa: A Heavenly Melody
http://risabecause.blogspot.com/2011/08/her-name-means-laughter-and-one-of.html
Because joy is the ultimate journey. Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Her name means laughter. One of the things we miss most is hearing hers. Whenever she said something funny, her eyes would twinkle. Then, as she watched and waited for you to "get it", she'd twist her head sort of side ways. The corners of her mouth would gradually move upward until finally her whole face erupted into a smile and bust out a giggle. Sometimes I can almost hear it. It's no wonder we find comfort in the following:. Remember, m...

Risa: The Best Days
http://risabecause.blogspot.com/2011/10/best-days.html
Because joy is the ultimate journey. Monday, October 3, 2011. While going through the videos Risa took on her old camera, I (Railee) was struck overwhelmingly with love. I could feel the love that Risa had and has for her family, and I've been trying to find a way to share this message from her. Hopefully this compilation of videos and journal entries will relate what I've been feeling lately. October 3, 2011 at 12:47 PM. October 3, 2011 at 2:32 PM. Thank you so much for sharing these priceless moments.

Risa: From Risa with love
http://risabecause.blogspot.com/2011/07/from-risa-with-love.html
Because joy is the ultimate journey. Monday, July 25, 2011. From Risa with love. I knew she wanted me to do something with that little book. She indisputably faced her illness with courage, but I think she'd prefer to be remembered for the faith that over-filled her heart and spilled out, leaving a trail everywhere she went. Everything she left behind is joyful. We know not what lies ahead of us. We live in a world of uncertainty, but one thing we do know. Like the polar star in the heavens, regardless of.

Because joy is the ultimate journey. Monday, November 28, 2011. Enduring To The End. In 2009, I went to efy in Tacoma, WA. There were 27 girls in my group, only 3 of them asked me to be in a picture with them. One of the girls is named Risa, she was in my company and on Friday night when we were singing the efy medley, I noticed she was crying, I had this feeling I needed to leave my company's circle. I gave tissue to her friend, who was the 2nd person to ask me to be in a picture with her. She died on, ...

Risa: Seminary Notes
http://risabecause.blogspot.com/2013/02/seminary-notes.html
Because joy is the ultimate journey. Sunday, February 17, 2013. Jesus Christ was tempted just like anyone. The difference was he "paid no heed" to it. He recognized the temptation when it came and he ignored it and told Satan to leave. Satan came while Christ was fasting and preparing to preach. He comes even in our spiritual moments. 1 Hold up the light and share it. If your eye is single to the glory of God you will understand what he wants you to do and how. I have learned that humility is the most vi...

Risa: The Least of These
http://risabecause.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-least-of-these.html
Because joy is the ultimate journey. Friday, October 24, 2014. The Least of These. If you passed the Savior on the street, or sat beside him on the bus, what would you do? Would you awkwardly pretend you didn't notice him because you are too involved in your current text messaging episode? Would you play it cool with a subtle nod of the head to acknowledge His presence and then continue along in silence? Would you fight the urge to run up and hug him because he's probably too busy for you? When older gir...

Risa: Goals 2010
http://risabecause.blogspot.com/2011/08/goals-2010.html
Because joy is the ultimate journey. Monday, August 8, 2011. Tucked behind the last pages of Risa's journal are several loose papers. One is a tattered half sheet entitled:. Where and Who I want to be by 2011. On the reverse, her daily, weekly, and monthly plans toward success were delineated. She intended to read the book A Complaint Free World. The average length of time to achieve mastery is 4 to 8 months. It's one of the most life changing experiences you'll ever have. If you don't like something, ch...

http://risabecause.blogspot.com/2011/12/for-risa.html
Because joy is the ultimate journey. Sunday, December 4, 2011. For Risa. September 31st. There's no such thing as the 31st of September. So when I say that it's been six months since Risa left, I feel a little disappointed with September for not giving her that extra day, which I think she deserves. Was it six months yesterday? Or is it today, the first of October? Somehow, one hundred and eighty-four days seems to be a more accurate measurement than six months. I have, often. Which would you rather ...

Because joy is the ultimate journey. Monday, April 16, 2012. Monday, April 2, 2012. Chapter Six: Jesus Wept. I want to take a step out of the humor zone for this post to speak of a very solemn and powerful stepping stone that brought me to the decision to serve a full-time mission. It's a subject I approach tenderly, because it is so deeply persona. L But it's something I want to share. Last Saturday, March 31, marked the one-year anniver sary of a day that will live forever in my me. D Home with Risa wa...
